Top 5 Best VPN Services

There are many reasons why you might need to use a VPN service whether you are trying to keep your data and traffic logs concealed from prying eyes of your internet service provider or from agencies within your own government.

These are just a couple of the reasons why you might need to use a VPN. So today, I will show you the top 5 VPN services based on several factors. Some of these factors include:

Logging off your data
DNS leak protection
Ease of use
Price
Number of server locations

#5: PRIVATE INTERNET ACCESS (PIA)

Starting off this list at #5 is Private Internet Access (PIA). This VPN has over 3k servers in 27 locations in 25 countries. It has a ton of options, which includes encryption levels, DNS leak protection, and a kill switch.

These features enable you to configure PIA to suit your needs. I have personally used PIA for the last two years and I have never heard any issues. The user interface is extremely easy to navigate. As my needs change, I may consider changing to another VPN on this list but for now, it suits my needs just fine.

If you are someone that is into torrenting, it is only allowed on certain servers so PIA will not be the best choice for you on this list.

Private internet access is a solid VPN especially if pricing is an issue with plans starting at $3.33 a month if you pay annually and up to $6.95 if you pay monthly.

It is available on several platforms including Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, iOS, and Android.
